Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
8.1 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
6.7 s28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.7 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 177 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (177 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 63). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,328 HTML elements
The page has 3,328 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 3.0 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 203 KiBAbout 203 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 438 KiB25 images could be 438 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 384 ms
384 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 384 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Google Tag Manager adds 383 ms
383 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 688 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
FontAwesome CDN adds 296 ms
296 msFontAwesome CDN costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 367 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
VWO adds 46 ms
46 msVWO costs a phone 46 ms of main-thread work and 315 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data

No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
